Level 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

From under the gun, Connor Richards jammed for around 600,000 and was called by Christopher Zollo on the button.

Connor Richards: 10♠9♠ All in
Christopher Zollo: Q♥Q♣

Richards had run into Zollo's Ladies, but his suited connector had a lot of potential with five cards to come.

The flop fell A♥5♥4♥, which left Richards needing running cards to win. The rest of the runout came 3♣J♦, and Richards would have to settle for a seventh-place finish.

Pedro Green's run came to an end at the hands of Phovieng Keokham, who has surged in the last two blind levels up the chip count.

Keokham wasted no time calling and stood up after flipping over his wired aces.

Pedro Green: A♣Q♥
Phovieng Keokham: A♠A♦

Despite cracking aces earlier, Green could not find the magic a second time at the final table when the board came 3♠9♠2♦7♣6♠, putting an end to his tournament life.

Green earned a prize of $11,138 for his sixth-place finish.

Level 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Mark Kawamoto got his last 1,200,000 into the middle from the blinds and Shaun Colquhoun called to try and send him home.

Mark Kawamoto: A♥4♥ All in
Shaun Colquhoun: K♣10♦

Kawamoto was ahead with ace-high until the flop came down 10♠8♠9♦ to give Colquhoun top pair. The 2♦ turn meant only an ace on the river could save Kawamoto. The river was the K♥ to provide Colquhoun with two pair, and Kawamoto was out.

Phovieng Keokham: A♠8♠

Keokham was ahead with ace-high and was a favorite with flush outs when the flop came 2♠9♦4♠. He maintained his lead with the J♣ turn. The 3♠ river completed Keokham's flush which sent Coombs to hit the rails in fourth place.

Shaun Colquhoun made it 375,000 from the small blind and Phovieng Keokham defended out of the big blind.

The turn came the 4♥ and Colquhoun checked. Keokham fired out a bet of 1,000,000, which Colquhoun called.

Colquhoun checked for the last time on the 9♣ river and Keokham jammed. The bet was for Colquhoun's remaining 3,100,000, and after just a few moments, Colquhoun called.

Shaun Colquhoun: A♦6♠ All in
Phovieng Keokham: 9♥8♥

Colquhoun had top pair, but was second best to the rivered two pair of Keokham. Colquhoun was out in third and the tournament was now heads-up.

Christopher Zollo: 9♦6♠ All in
Phovieng Keokham: A♦Q♣

Zollo found himself in the lead when the board flopped 9♠10♠4♦, turning the tables on Keokham.

The turn reversed the fortune when the Q♥ put Keokham back into the lead.
